Read this eBook from Tempo Automation to uncover the 3 key trends accelerating electronics development.
In all engineering domains, development is defined by a Design, Build, and Test (DBT) cycle. Each time a project goes through this cycle, ideas are validated, deficiencies are discovered, and solutions determined....

e2v has previously provided back-illuminated CCDs for several solar observation projects, resulting in a number of key articles on CCD QE in the soft X-ray region. To update these, e2v has arranged for tests on X-ray optimised EMCCDs at a synchrotron.
These have shown QE of at least 45% from 40 eV to 2000 eV, with...

A popular application for the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator is the forming of a phase-locked loop. Designing the VCXO for this application requires a ‘pullable’ quartz crystal.
A voltage-controlled crystal oscillator’s (VCXO) output frequency changes in direct proportion to the application...

Credit, debit and ATM card fraud costs consumers, merchants and financial institutions billions in losses every year. The payment card industry has responded by creating the PCI security standard. Merchants that fail to comply with PCI face increased risk of security breaches and substantial contractual penalties.

Because wireless systems are typically located out of doors and have components located on towers and tall buildings, they are especially susceptible to damage from lightning.
Therefore, it is important that a lightning protection system be designed and implemented at the same time the wireless system is being designed...

This article details the common problems plaguing analog voltage mode control loops and shows how a digital control loop is able to provide bandwidth that was previously dismissed as unobtainable. By walking through the variables associated with stability and comparing it to an analog control system, it can be seen that...

Modern power distribution systems often contain multiple power sources integrated within one system. A simple variant may be the common double-ended substation, which can be further complicated by additional emergency or alternate sources. This presents significant complexity to the designer attempting to design a protection...

Driverless cars are virtually unique in symbolizing the power of future technologies and digitalization to alter our everyday lives. Connected, automated driving holds the promise of significantly higher road safety and convenience. However, trusting an autonomous vehicle is a big step for many people.
Every radar...

Growing demand for faster access to larger volumes of data, coupled with emerging high-speed network standards and rapidly advancing technology, is having a profound impact on network infrastructure. As 40 Gb fiber becomes a standard option in data centers, the challenge of connecting 40 Gb equipment with existing 10 Gb...

Power has always been a design consideration. Traditionally, though, a lower priority has been assigned to power than to most other variables (speed/performance, cost, time-to-market, risk, etc.). In today’s marketplace, however, power has become a very important component in the designer’s decision making...

In recent years passive intermodulation (PIM) has become a major concern for wireless service providers and those responsible for building and maintaining wireless networks. The increase in awareness around PIM comes with the increasing complexity of how spectrum is utilized.
The push to increase spectral efficiency...

The subject of power supplies is potentially very broad and the application of resistors in power supplies is quite diverse. Here Riedon will focus on power supply units (PSUs) designed for use in electronic appliances that nominally require fixed DC outputs ranging from just a few volts up to a few kV.
